Many can be special ordered if they are not in the yard. Basalt columns on pallets at the yard Some projects call for one standout piece rather than a pallet of flagstone. Our specialty stone section is where you find it. Some pieces are cut or drilled for a use, like fountains, birdbaths and treads. Others are unusual natural forms, like basalt columns and petrified wood. These items come and go as quarries ship them, so the selection changes often. Call ahead if you are looking for something specific, and ask about custom orders if we do not have it on hand. 24 stones - [Basalt Columns Specialty stone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/basalt-columns/) - [Travertine: Philadelphia Rust Pavers Specialty stone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/travertine-philadelphia-rust-pavers/) - [Bluestone: Squares Specialty stone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/bluestone-squares/) - [Photo coming soon Feather Rock Planters Specialty stone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/feather-rock-planters/) - [Photo coming soon Travertine: Golden Sun Pavers Specialty stone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/travertine-golden-sun-pavers/) - [Bluestone: Pattern Cut Specialty stone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/bluestone-pattern-cut/) - [Bluestone: Treads Specialty stone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/bluestone-treads/) - [Storm Mountain Slabs Specialty stone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/storm-mountain-slabs/) - [Photo coming soon Mt.

We can refer you to a crane placement company for the biggest pieces. If a piece will hold water, tell us so we can suggest stone that suits it.
